The school is located at the base of Peach Mountain on the Appalachian Plateau in Mineral Springs. This remote community once had a huge spa and hotel, with a connecting rail line. Thousands came to seek a cure from the mineral waters for a variety of ailments.
Bell tower of a no longer used early 1900’s school house in Gilson Illinois. This large bell was sufficient to be heard throughout the town.
I did not find very many one room schools in Montana, most of the ones I saw (on a short trip) were about this size or larger, but definitely more than one room. Further research may be necessary...

Ayr School located in the Homesteaders' Village located in the Manitoba Agricultural Museum grounds in the Town of Austin Manitoba Canada
The Ayr School is representative of schools that appeared in pioneer Manitoba. It is a very Spartan building. The desks were long benches. The students used slates and chalk as there were no notebooks. The blackboards were boards painted black and the school was heated by a wood stove. The washroom facilities would have consisted of an outhouse. Water would have been provided by pail from a nearby source. While some pioneer schools had their own water well, other schools did not. Someone then had to obtain water from a nearby well, stream or pond on a daily basis.
As well as functioning as a school, Ayr also served as a dance hall, community hall, church or another purpose the community needed. In the pioneer era, money was scarce and public buildings had to serve as multipurpose facilities.

A cloud shrouded Beartooth Plateau can be seen behind the old Pioneer School near Clark, Wyoming on a November morning. In September, 1913 Powell Wyoming School Board held a bond election to fund the building a school house for children who lived on farms and ranches in the then remote area around Clark, Wyoming along the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone. $2,500 in bonds were sold and Josephine Green Lukes sold 2 acres of land to School District No. 4 for $1.00 for the school site. The school, built in 1914, was originally a one room schoolhouse. It was designed by architect Curtis Oehme, and constructed by H.P. Anderson. The original structure had no indoor plumbing so, in 1953 the school was upgraded to include indoor plumbing and a teacherage which was added to the east end of the building. Further upgrades were made In 1956 which included a music room added to the north side of the building. The school, known as the Pioneer School, operated until 1969 when school consolidation and busing of rural students made the school obsolete. It then became a community hall, used to house a wide variety of events over the years. Given its present condition it appears that the school may be unused at present. The school is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
Visible from US Highway 2 in north-central Montana, the former Burnham School building is both beautiful and sad. Surrounded by wide open fields and big sky, it's a wonder the building continues to stand up to the elements.
I had so much fun doing this post with my sister Syd!

I'm pretty sure this was once a school and then turned in to home(s) and now it seems vacant.
For Windows Wednesday
While getting a possible last real chance for a fresh air day with my better half before some of the first nasty days of winter sets in a few days with some decent snow in the forecast we came across along the Hudson River there is some construction fencing to some large scale project that painted by I believe by some local school kids. Amazing what some kids can do.
School days, school days
I'm older now and what will I find about my
School day, school days
I'm starting to slip, I'm losin' my mind
Used to be the wild one
Hated class only lived for fun
I'm mean and got my schemes
At the crazy age of eighteen

This abandoned place was an old community school. The road is used by locals and tourists, it's an undiscovered beauty route to travel through. Nowadays there is a discussion who would be responsible, however I look forward to be restore and give an worthy use.
On the campus of Cornell Tech on Roosevelt Island. It was so nice to visit on a day when there were very few people around. The clouds reflecting off of the buildings were beautiful.

The Butlerville High School in Butlerville, Indiana was built in 1904, and closed between 1948 and 1950. The school has sat abandoned for my entire life and by the time I shot this the bell tower and second floor offices had completely caved in. An elementary school was added next to it in 1922, but has also sat abandoned since 1978.
For a look at both schools somewhat more intact, see here:
